Bishop’s Message

It gives me great joy in sending this message of God’s blessings to your school as you are celebrating your sesquicentennial year. I am sure this wonderful, event-filled year of this great institution will go down in the annals of history. I wish to congratulate the current principal Prof. John Zachariah and the former Principals, teaching and non-teaching staff, students, parents and well-wishers on this commendable achievement. I have great pleasure in conveying my best wishes to each one of you.
The over-all development of the individual is the goal of education and we as educationists have to ensure that there is no stone left unturned to equip the students of today for the challenges of life. The various co-curricular, extra curricular and cultural activities provide the right platform for students in the overall development of their personalities. This aspect has been focused very well in this institution and the various awards that the students have won through inter-school competitions bear testimony to the same.I also would like to thank the members of the Board of Management for their support at various levels. My thanks to the untiring teaching and non teaching staff for their meticulous work in shaping these young minds who come to this premises and making them what they should be in this modern world. I wish and pray that God Almighty showers his choicest blessings upon this institution. May this outstanding institution send its students out into the world with Christian values and concern for humanity.
With best wishes,
The Rt. Rev. Dr. P. K. Samuel
Bishop,
C.S.I. Karnataka Central Diocese
